またまたフリー・ソウル関連で☝️N.Y.イースト・ハーレム出身のゴスペルグループ、ヴォイシズ・オブ・イースト・ハーレムの曲を演奏してみました🎸(੭ु˙꒳˙)੭ु🍀
オリジナルは1959年のボビー・ダーリンのようですが、70年代にティム・ハーディンも歌ってます🧐
ギターはジャズ・プレーヤーとしても幅の広い活動で知られるコーネル・デュプリーで🎈治安の悪すぎるN.Y.イースト・ハーレムの地域活動の一環として、12〜21歳の児童養護施設で育った子供たちが歌いはじめたことが、レコーディングのきっかけだったそうです(•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑🎙
総勢20名ほどのゴスペルグループは、その後もカーティス・メイフィールドやリロイ・ハトソンのプロデュースでアルバムを出していますが、どれも良い感じです😊
犯罪に囲まれた混迷の時代にあって、謳われる力強いボーカルと伸びやかなコーラスは絶賛に値します。お時間あればぜひ聞いてみてくださいʚ◡̈⃝ɞ
1970年「Right On Be Free」
Simple Song of Freedom

Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.
Hey there, Mister Black Man can you hear me?
I don't want your diamonds or your game
I just want to be someone known to you as me
And I will bet my life you want the same
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.
Seven hundred million are you listening?
Most of what you read is made of lies
But speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun
To wake to in the morning when we rise?
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.
Brother Solzhenitsyn, are you busy?
If not, won't you drop this friend a line?
And tell me if the man, who is plowing up your land
Has got the war machine upon his mind?
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.
No doubt some folks enjoy doing battle
Like presidents, Prime ministers and kings
So let's all build them shelves where they can fight among themselves
And leave the people be who love to sing.
Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.
Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere
We, the people, here don't want a war...
